Resilience test helpers for Active Job

Github

Overview

ChaoticJob is an innovative tool designed to enhance the resilience of your Active Jobs by simulating various failures that may occur in a production environment. Inspired by chaos testing principles, this gem allows developers to create a testing landscape where they can observe how their jobs respond to glitches, races, and other potential issues. The insights gained from using ChaoticJob can ultimately lead to the development of more reliable applications that handle unexpected situations gracefully.

By leveraging the capabilities of the ChaoticJob gem alongside the Acidic Job gem, developers can ensure that their Active Jobs not only perform as expected under normal conditions but also robustly manage erratic scenarios. This makes it an essential addition to any developer's toolkit, particularly for those working on mission-critical applications.

Features

  • Glitch Simulation: Allows for the injection of transient errors in the job execution flow, facilitating testing for unpredictable failures like network issues or API outages.
  • Custom Error Handling: By default, glitches raise a custom error (ChaoticJob::RetryableError), ensuring that jobs are configured to retry effectively under failure conditions.
  • Scenario Testing: Defines and executes specific failure scenarios that simulate job execution interruptions, providing insights into job resilience.
  • Race Conditions: Tests and simulates race conditions by interleaving execution events of multiple jobs, helping developers identify and solve potential bugs.
  • Exhaustive Execution Patterns: Ensures that all possible execution patterns are tested, allowing for thorough verification of job behavior under various circumstances.
  • Deterministic Simulation: Utilizes a fixed pattern executor to simulate concurrent job execution in a controlled manner, providing consistency in testing results.
  • Integration with Active Job: Seamlessly integrates with Active Job, making it easy to add resilience testing into existing workflows without significant overhead.
  • Scalability: Designed to support a wide range of applications, from small-scale projects to large, mission-critical systems.

Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails, often referred to as Rails, is an open-source web application framework written in Ruby. Known for its convention over configuration and don't repeat yourself (DRY) principles, Rails simplifies and accelerates the development of database-backed web applications.
